• "Latine"-- the Latest Insultingly Woke Attempt to Change the Spanish La

    From BTR1701@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 15 18:50:09 2024
    Since "Latinks" didn't work out for them and gets them roundly mocked at
    best and vilified at worst by actual Latinos, the wokesters are now making
    a second attempt at changing the Spanish language for people who didn't ask
    for it and are quite happy with it just the way it is with the introduction
    of "Latine".

    Taking an informal poll of my household, the girlfriend, who is of
    Colombian ethnicity and speaks fluent Spanish, finds this one even worse
    than latinks, sounding so close, as it does, to 'latrine".

    "Latine," a gender-neutral way to describe or refer to people with Latino origins, is surging in popularity on university campuses, in museums, and
    among researchers and media.

    Yeah, I noticed this use exploding in admin Emails since Spring Break.
    "LatinX" must have polled horrendously for them to have dumped it so quick.

    I find it much less obnoxious that "LatinX" (which is every bit as
    derogatory as "Generation X" is/was).

    But it's still obnoxious: just stick with Latino/Latina - What's the
    problem?!!

    Are you actually claiming this has a worse connotation than "anonyshit?"
    A you such an incredibly stupid fuck that you don't realize you don't
    have a legitimate identity and look like a stupid fucking hypocrite when
    you comment on other's? Near as I can tell you're a black trans woman.
    Thus you really should shut the fuck up you hypocritical troon.

    You tell us, "trotsky"; Your much more familair with that than anyone else.

    Is it my imagination, or was that whole post Trot's weakest "retort"
    yet, by far?!

    If this is the level of his "game" now, the dude needs to just slink
    away and retire...
